Who is using 9/11 to justify Imperialism? First off, we were doing all the same stuff BEFORE 9/11 except that AFTER 9/11 the security in our domestic airports got beefed up big time, or I should say “got put in place” because it was practically nonexistent before.
We are absolutely the country leading the rest of the world. The United States has never believed it has to justify much of anything. I’m not certain I feel differently. In order to really see it clearly, to REALLY get it, you’d have to compare the world as it is today with how the world would be if The U.S. had never happened.
Seeing as how I’m a descendant of The Mayflowrr, a Son of The American Revolution, A son of The Union AND The Confederacy as well as having lost family members in every war this country has ever seen, I feel well qualified zo say it would be a much different place, and many types of progress would have been made, but comparatively we’d be in the 1700’s or 1800’s developmentally. AND we’d be ruled by Axis-Powers and Germans and people would have learned that Tyranny wins.
And besides. I’m so tired of hearing people talk about how Terrorism is this big badcwolf.
Terrorism is a fucking lip-biting slap fight between differently-abled highly-effeminate emo boys over which of them is the student teacher’s “boyfriend” compared with what the world actually NEEDS to get on with.
Terrorism is like political lobbying with people’s lives as the cash zhat pays the bills.
Eventually, one hopes, they’ll realize that the whole reason we formed countries is because “Hey, you do you” — some people are weird, and smell funny. Truth be told what they are doing is not Love. Its betraysl of their own people and they know that. When the people figure out that organized Religion is all bullshit, and THEIR Organized religion is all bullshit +24 Virgins shich is totally creepy. I wonder if anybody has told them that the “Virgins” in this scenario are all the little boys they strapped those bombs to?
Terrorists are wimps who cannot deal with the lack of worth their lives possess as far as their own governments are concerned. And so they go and do Juhad. These people go their whole lives in abject poverty and under a government run by a corrupt church, and cannot believe their eyes when they see the comparative flat-out opulence we Americans live in.
And instead of dealing eith the truth, which has nothing to do with anybody else — decide to take oug their anger about having been tricked into believing that their god (Allah) is “The Most Generous” they can’t yell at their God (he’s far too generous to risk pissing him off, apparently) they make it our fault for making their God look like a cheapskate.
